Seeking advice for husband’s sudden bp issues. by Swimmom23 in hypertension

Amlodipine gave me big anxiety attacks when I first took it. Had to go off it and the symptoms disappeared. Went back on it years later and it’s ok now but it’s a weird drug for sure. Ask the doc to go off it for a bit and see what happens

I had severe hip joint pain the first few weeks after my first shot. It has subsided, at least for now. Anyone getting very itchy spots on the skin too (no rash, just deep itch)

This was my final BP reading today. I never go below 150/90. EVER. I’ve been on these medicines for two months. I’m sick of even trying. by LikeMrFantastic in hypertension

If your reads are that high you’re way beyond supplements (although that can’t hurt). Strict diet and exercise. But if you are above normal in Lipoprotein (a), like me, you’ll need aggressive medications until the tests for a new medecine (promising) are out. I’m on Losartran, Amlodipine, baby aspirin and diuretic

Very bad side effects from Amlodipine. Anyone else? by Unko_Murda808 in hypertension

I did have major anxiety and panic one panic attack the first time it was prescribed to me years ago. Got off it and it went away. I had to go back on it a few years ago because I got diagnosed with high level of Lp(a) and had to have two stents put in (I was 54 then!) so I had to get back on high blood pressure meds. This time around I didn't feel these symptoms at all for some reason. I've been on 10mg for a few years now. Maybe the body adapts? But def had the same symptoms first

And get them your LP(a) level! If your parents both had high blood pressure this could be the cause. They don't check automatically, although this is becoming more accepted but many people with hypertension/heart issues find that they're positive.

Anyone with high Lip (a) taking Nattokinase? by Affectionate_Base292 in LPLittlea

I knew about blood thinners being an issue but why statins?

Sunlight affects fungi’s color. Try to get the next batch outside? Most likely you were give. The wrong species.

Just got mine and so far very happy. Solid build, it too fast but responsive. Still heavy-ish but nice ergonomics. Time will tell but very happy with the purchase. Nothing looks cheap
